Issue Brief No. 5

On 16 June 2022, the SIAP SIAGA program hosted a peer learning event to discuss why the development of DRAs in an inclusive and participatory manner is both strategic and sustainable. With more than 150 participants from across 14 provinces and national government institutions, the online event tried to unpack how and why this approach is important and to propose several policy recommendations. Four resource persons were invited to share their experiences in developing inclusive and participatory DRAs: Agus Hery Purnomo (BPBD North Lombok Province), Ardin (Bappeda Central Sulawesi), Hasan Jaelani (DRR Forum Sampang, East Java), and Eko Teguh Paripurno (UPN Yogyakarta). Several key points and good practices were identified encompassing issues such as preparation and data collection, involvement of key stakeholders, and the effective use of DRA’s for local development planning process.
